Evolution of Gods
#1
Evolution of Gods
Since the appearance of a belief in supernatural forces,from the most early stages of human societies,up to our days it has undergone an evolution ,we could say as a sort of darwinistic evolution almost parallel to social,political,spiritual evolution of societies.

The early beliefs in fetish objects,in saint animals,in idols,in all kind of what we would call generally as Gods,played a major role in the lives of early close communities and latter on of greater communities cristalized as nations or peoples.
The aid and assistance of Gods were allways used in struggle between men as well as in struggle of
communities or peoples between them.
That situation has changed very little even in our days.

However the beliefs in Gods or religions, as we call the cult of Gods, and even the Gods themselves have undergone radical changes from primitive ones to most sophisticated ones.

During times some people have appeared on the stage of history and then disappeared leaving place to others.All this processus took place during wars where the strongest won and the weaker disintegrated
in a manner similar to the darwinian evolution of species only in a much much shorter of time.
We would be tempted to conclude that the Gods of the stronger where also stronger Gods, but being all of them only mindly creation of men the comparison is totally imaginary.

Not the power of the belief.
We cannot affirm that the power of the belief in any God decided the victory in struggles or wars but it stands to reason that it played in a lot of times a most important role.
I would like to open a debate on this issue because it sheds a light on the creation of God by men.
